“I Just Talked to the UFC…”: Sean O’Malley Lashes Out at Former Bantamweight Champ, Henry Cejudo, While Revealing the Real PPV Numbers for UFC 292

The aftermath of UFC 292 keeps adding to the buzz around the Bantamweight division. Sean O’Malley, now crowned as the new champion, finds himself at the center of a fierce exchange of words with none other than former titleholder Henry Cejudo. Amidst the aftermath of O’Malley’s triumph over Aljamain Sterling, verbal jabs are being exchanged, and the spotlight is shining brightly on their heated exchange.

Following ‘Suga’s victory, a number of Bantamweight veterans, including the likes of Henry Cejudo and Merab Dvalishvili, threw down the gauntlet for a title shot against O’Malley. Notably, ‘Triple C’ took to his X handle to mock the new Bantamweight champ, calling him a “p**sy.” Now, Sean O’Malley has snapped back at Cejudo’s remarks – and that too, with an eye-opening remark about his UFC success. But before we get into what ‘Suga’ said, let’s hear ‘Triple C’ X-rated rant to the new champ.

Henry Cejudo’s X-rated challenge to Sean O’Malley

In the aftermath of O’Malley’s victory, Henry Cejudo seized the virtual mic on X to throw down the gauntlet with an explicit callout. He called out the new champ, labeling him as less than the best – even within their city. 

Taking to his X handle, Triple C wrote, “Congratulations pu*sy  @SugaSeanMMA how can you say you are the best in the world, When you are not even the best in our city. @danawhite can’t give him Chito because he sucks and if you give him Merat he’s only going to wrestle. Let’s run it in PHX.”

Cejudo’s message to Dana White, the UFC boss, was clear: O’Malley is not worthy of a fight with Marlon Vera or Merab Dvalishvili. Why?

With a playful addition, O’Malley threw in an offhand comment about Cejudo’s height, highlighting the heated atmosphere with a touch of humor.
